Actually I have nothing against Vellfire.
No doubt the Vellfire has probably more class, but like some say - its a moving refrigerator.
The vellfire is also not suitable to be driven Single driver (meaning without full load).

If I opt for this CX-8 is because I want both diesel and 7 seating capacity , yet I want to sometimes drive alone.
This probably handles more steady than Vellfire.
My friend had tried driving aggressively on his newer Vellfire up Genting, probably he has forgotten he has 6 adults in the car; no doubt it doesn't swing much but I felt slight car-sick.

I have driven my uncle's CX8 and it doesn't feel like a Mazda at all blink.gif it somehow just feel disconnected in a way and every time you accelerate, you feel as if the front is dragging the back along. steering feel is also a bit numb and the suspension is acceptable.

the funny thing is that the CX9 (although larger in size) drives better than the CX9, it just feels more "cohesive".

It just a SUV. For grip or more better corner, have to take sedan car  biggrin.gif
Almost all SUV sold here had massive tyre gap to body, example x70, CRV. While Tiguan and Mercedes SUV GLE, GLC had less gap between tyre - body.
wide gap for me make the car roll to high on corner.

no, no. not about taking corners.

what i meant was the entire car doesn't feel as "one". it doesn't have that "jinba-ittai" ness to it, if you get what i mean. the front part and the back part of the car feels, separated somewhat.

you can feel the heft at the rear where it sits and refused to get up.

as opposed to the CX9 which felt like the front and back moved together as one.
